    Extractions: Phosphorus and Nitrogen SUMMARY Based on our review of the scientific literature, we are certain that: Eutrophication caused by over-enrichment with P and N is a widespread problem in rivers, lakes, estuaries, and coastal oceans. Nonpoint pollution is a major source of P and N to surface waters of the United States. The major sources of nonpoint pollution are agriculture and urban activity, including industry and transportation. In the U.S. and many other nations, inputs of P and N to agriculture in the form of fertilizers exceed outputs of those nutrients in the form of crops. High densities of livestock have created situations in which manure production exceeds the needs of crops to which the manure is applied. The density of animals on the land is directly related to nutrient flows to aquatic ecosystems. Excess fertilization and manure production cause a P surplus, which accumulates in soil. Some of this surplus is transported in soil runoff to aquatic ecosystems.

    Extractions: Robert J. Naiman, Sandra L. Postel, and Steven W. Running SUMMARY Life on land and in the lakes, rivers, and other freshwater habitats of the earth is vitally dependent on renewable fresh water, a resource that comprises only a tiny fraction of the global water pool. Humans rely on renewable fresh water for drinking, irrigation of crops, and industrial uses as well as production of fish and waterfowl, transportation, recreation, and waste disposal. Based on the scientific evidence currently available, we conclude that: More than a billion people currently lack access to clean drinking water, and almost three billion lack basic sanitation services. Because human population will grow faster than any increase in accessible supplies of fresh water, the amount of fresh water available per person will decrease in the coming century. At least 90 percent of river flows in the United States are strongly affected by dams, reservoirs, interbasin diversions, and irrigation withdrawals that fragment natural channels.

    Extractions: Beaches by Gideon Bosker Lena Lencek The authors of The Beach: The History of Paradise on Earth, the best-selling history of everyone's favorite place, are back with a breathtaking visual companion. From moody, craggy coastlines to serene swathes of turquoise water and white sand, Beaches is an astounding photographic survey of the ineffable allure of paradise on earth. This spectacular collection of images from renowned photographers, including Robert Misrach, Joel Meyerowitz, and Art Wolff, stirs the spirit, capturing the mutable beauty of sand, sea, and sky. Throughout, concise and poetic pieces of historic and scientific lore unveil little-known facts and curiosities. With an astonishing range of vision, Beaches evokes the idiosyncratic beauty of the world's most stunning coastlines. About the Author

Presenting material Finding a Topic For help in finding a topic you might begin by looking at some general science journals such as Science Nature Science News and Scientific American . In the library you can look through journals such as Nature Conservancy, Environment, and Environmental Heath Look at general science news websites such as New York Times: CollegeNews SciTech Daily Review and The Why Files You can also look at environmental or water-related sites such as Environmental News Network Lycos Environment News Service EnviroLink News Service Planet Ark (Reuters) and U.S. Water News Once you've decided on a topic you'll need to clarify and refine it. As you continue to gather information you should compile a list of key terms, important names and questions or ideas you may want to explore. Background Information You'll want to refine your topic by looking at relevant books, reference sources and review articles.

Our principal focus is on the roles of bacterioplankton and protozoans in the biogeochemical cycling of organic carbon and nitrogen. Our research focuses on temporal and spatial variations of bacterial biomass, growth dynamics, and organic matter utilization. Bacterial biomass is measured using flow cytometry and epifluorescence microscopy/video image analysis here at VIMS. I am lead Principal Investigator for the Palmer Antarctica Long Term Ecological Research Project ( PAL-LTER) , and active in the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS), as well as in Chesapeake Bay where I have been investigating water column processes since 1981. I pursue experimental, observational and modeling work in these areas.

    Extractions: Fall 97 Sources of Sediment within an Estuary Freshwater sources Freshwater sources of sediment within an estuary (what is an estuary and why are they important) http://www.gem.co.za/enviro/43.htm include the rivers of the world, in fact the rivers of the world discharge 35 trillion tons of water to the oceans every year. (Hunt). The continents are being slowly eaten away by watersheds. (Find out more about watersheds) http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~gries/watershd.htm The amounts of material carried dissolved in streams, or swept along as suspended sand or mud, down sound impressive when compared to the volume of water. The average river carries only about 140 parts per million dissolved material and perhaps 500 ppm solid particles. Each gallon of water carries only one-fiftieth of an ounce of dissolved matter and four-fiftieths of an ounce of sand and mud, but these add up to around twenty-three billion tons of continental material carried to the seas each year-more than four hundred tons of each square mile of land surface. Delta Formation (figure 1) (Hunt) Delta Sedimentary Structures (figure 2) (Hunt) At the mouth of the Mississippi River, lies a huge delta with sediment transported by the river. From the barrier inland along the coast, and reaching 10 to 60 miles inland, lies 6.5 million acre wetland complex estimated to account for 40 percent of the marsh ecosystem of the United States. (Finlayson) In the name of flood control dikes have been built along the banks of the Mississippi, and out on the delta to stabilize the shifting river mouth. In order to maintain constant open shipping channels sediments are dredged out. The river sediments that once settled on the plains are now carried far out into the Gulf of Mexico where they drop into deep water and no longer settle out on the delta wetland communities. Natural compression and organic decay are causing old sediments to subside, and sea levels to rise. Unfortunately, this is causing a loss of as much as 39 sq. miles of wetlands each year. (Finlayson)

    Extractions: Q. I would like information please about WWW links specific to rocky shore zonation. My searches so far seem to have been quite unsuccessful. A. Thanks for your question. I don't know of any WWW sites that are as specific as you are asking. As you may have already found out, there are many things that are simply not to be found in the WWW. (exaggerated media stories to the contrary). For a topic like rocky shore zonation, there is nothing that can beat a good marine ecology textbook. Usually, public libraries don't have textbooks like this, but if there is a university or college library nearby, you should try that.
